I did contact the mod team, but they have issues eg. making false claims like this

collapsed inline media

They also have beef with r/Buy_European on reddit https://old.reddit.com/r/Buy_European/comments/1j6jeg3/the_other_buyeuropean_sub_is_apparently_now/

Checkout https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/fedibridge it's commited to helping guide people to Lemmy.

I like to use something like


Try out the European-Hosted Reddit alternative called Lemmy, https://phtn.app/

It also has a mobile app: https://vger.app/settings/install


To guide people.

Selling weapons to people is fine if you're military is 10x the size of all of theirs combined.

We "can" attack the US, but not a fuck are we ever going to.

[–] AnonomousWolf@lemm.ee 2 points 1 hour ago

I would think that any decent military would stockpile any spare parts they would need to 2 years.

I understand if the supply stops they will eventually run out, but this is basic assurances that I'd think any military worth its salt would have in place when buying weapons.

[–] AnonomousWolf@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago

My thoughts exactly, I can't imagine a military paying 100 million per F35, that somebody can just turn off remotely, leaving them dead in the water.

 

I've seen a few articles now that US fighter jets have kill switches in them, so the US could just render them useless for anyone they've sold them to.

Is this true? It sounds insane to me, I've always assumed that countries that buy these jets have full control over them. It's a gaping hole in your defence if you don't.

it's basically already hosted since https://phtn.app/ defaults to lemm.ee

but clean url's matter so I think having p.lemm.ee would make a difference I feel

Also it handles sharing links a lot better

Exbibit A:

collapsed inline media

 

When promoting lemm.ee I refer people to https://phtn.app/ because if I just point them to lemm.ee they in mass complain about how shit the UI is. (I'm not saying it is, that's what others say)

But saying join lemm.ee and then directing them to https://phtn.app/ also seems weird and dodgy. (I've been called out for this)

I still see Sorry, this post has been removed by the moderators of r/BuyFromEU.

You can comment but I think it's just "Hidden" idk

Aaaand it's gone, and I've been banned from the sub.

got 80,000 views and 1300 upvotes before is disappeared though, so I see that as a win, I'm sure a few people signed up.

To be fair, I was spamming should have read the rules better, a warning would have been nice.

Fair but when you're using mobile apps like Voyager or Sync you just get a error and don't understand why

[–] AnonomousWolf@lemm.ee 14 points 1 day ago

It will come with time, if possible be the change you want to see. I'm trying to grow the South African sub.

It might take years but 🤷‍♂️

[–] AnonomousWolf@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

Need to be low key about it, promote Lemmy here and there. Could be a fun side project for people to help with.

 

piefed.social is a very popular instance, and I feel it's really beginner friendly, why isn't it an option on Voyager?

 

I found a super simple way to refer people to Lemmy.

One simple message:

Try out the Reddit alternative called Lemmy https://phtn.app/

It also has a mobile app: https://vger.app/settings/install

This way a user can just click, start seeing content and what Lemmy is about, and if they want to comment etc. they will be asked to create an account with lemm.ee selected as a default.

This should fix most of the onboarding UX issues, and eliminate the decision fatigue of trying to figure out which instance is best.

This reddit post likely has tens if not hundreds of thousands of views, look at the top comment.

Lemmy is losing so many potential new users because the UX sucks for the vast majority of people.

What can we do?

Small things like 'Auto expand media' being set to true, can have a huge impact on user retention rate.

The vast majority of people never open or change default settings in the social media they use.

When they try out Lemmy etc., and the defaults aren’t great a lot of them will have a bad User Experience and leave.

I’m a IT professional, and joined Lemmy a few months ago, the UX sucked, most of that could have been fixed by having good defaults in place.

I powered through, but I won’t recommend Lemmy to many of my friends or family because I know they will give up due to too much friction in finding the right settings and how things work.

For the Fediverse to succeed focus needs to be put on giving people a very smooth UX from first opening a app or page, to finding enjoyment seeing and engaging with content.
